Abstract
A method for optimizing the operation of a data storage system utilizes a genetic algorithm to adjust internal parameters of the system. The method involves determining a set of optimum values of each of two or more different data array parameters, such as data request types that will be processed concurrently, to achieve performance goals that are set by the user for the system. The optimum values are determined by iteratively evaluating the performance of the system while it processes the different combinations of values of the two or more data requests, saving the combinations of numbers that yield performance parameters that approach the goal and eliminating combinations of number of data request types that do not.
